"We negotiated with initiators of the impeachment plans and wanted them to postpone their actions for the time being," Mohammad-Reza Bahonar said on Wednesday.

39 MPs have signed the motion related to the agriculture minister Sadeq Khalilian and 65 MPs have signed the motion related to the industry minister Mehdi Ghazanfari.

Turbulence in the foreign exchange market, problems gripping the industrial sector, mismanagement in the mining sector, and also problems facing poultry and egg production are among the major reasons behind the impeachment idea.
